Shin Kobe Battery

Hi All

It may be a silly question.

Can anyone please advise me if it's true that European Battery can not be used on Japaneses (Toyota, Shinko) electric forklift in Asia?

Thanks
Chris Fu

Hey Chris, the only resin I can think of is that Japanese manufacturers use mostly British Standard type of cells and in Europe they use DIN cells. The difference is the dimension of the cell, it is just a bit difficult to get.
Kind regards
